Anindya De
Fifth year Ph.D. student in Computer Science
at University of California, Berkeley
<myfirstname> at cs dot berkeley dot edu

Areas of Interest:
Complexity theory, Analysis of Boolean functions, Learning theory, Applied probability

I am advised by Luca Trevisan. Previously, I had spent four wonderful years at
IIT Kanpur where I incidentally also obtained my Bachelors in Computer Science.



[CV] [Research statement]


New: I also help organize TCS+, an online seminar series in theoretical computer science, accessible to the widest possible audience, and ensuring a carbon-free dissemination of ideas across the globe
